Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Well I've played around with Droid x a lot rooted a buddies for him and install liberty rom Im pretty sure Droid x isn't supported by cm7 so if you like cm7 your out of luck. I'd rather have Druid x over Eris for the memory speed and ram. But I'd rather stick with HTC. I don't jnie what I'm going to do with more then 50mbs of ram extra when I get a upgrade in November haha. But luckily we have get devs to keep the Eris running smooth and kepping up with the times with 2.3

Yeah. Love Eris Dev ppl. I'm running liberty now. And no cm7. But would like this raw power and cram it in an Eris problally the perfect phone ty for the feed back its a little disconcerting going to a new forum. Even after the 1.5 years with an Eris.

Well as many of you guys know, the DROID3 is about to be released and I have been thinking...
The DROID2 came out roughly the same time as the DROIDX. Both phones use the same exploit to get into custom recovery to allow custom ROMs, etc.That being said, do you think the release of the DROID3 would be able to aid in the development of the X2?
I haven't done too much research on the subject yet but I think if devs get a hand on both phones, work could be sped up a bit.
Only a thought.

Well... since moto seems to be following HTC's open loader cue you might get lucky! Then again it's not the tegra set like the X2 and Atrix so it might have a completely different loader by default.
I say X2 if you want the graphics power since I think it's better atm and development should begin soon.

Plus the Droid 3 uses 2.3 while DroidX2 uses 2.2.

How many of you guys came from the original X? I had/have a issue with my current X and I've been told to probably expect the X2 if I get a replacement. I guess I'm asking is it that bad? Should I wait until I can afford a new phone out of contract?

It is tegra set
Droid 3 is TI not Tegra.
Has anyone checked out the new droid lapdock in a store? From the picture it looks like it might fit our phones.

Edit
Nevermind it turns out the hdmi and usb are in the same place as Atrix...with one small [email protected]#k You.....they turned the hdmi around so Atrix people will not be able to use it either. I am starting to feel some real hate towards motorola.

If I root and install ICS on my Atrix will it mess up anything with the lapdock
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yes it will affect it.
It will no longer start the web top environment
Instead it will mirror the phone, stretching the qHD resolution to the lap dock screen.
Best solution is to stay on a blur rom till we get ics update from motorola

Could there be any way to run tge webtop 3.0 ui on the actual phone screen itself? That would make the dpi problems go away
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Theres an app called nebtop but i havent tried it yet. So tempting, let me know if that works for you.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Nebtop is for webtop 2.0 and it just allows you to use webtop on non lapdocks with an hdmi cord. Im talking about running the actual webtop 3.0 on the phone screen itself, not mirroring it to an external display. Doing so would give the effect of a tablet ui on your phone.
Thank you for the response though

For Webtop 3.0 you don't need anything, just plug into HDMI and select Webtop.
@pyroemaniac: isn't DPI have to do with the screen itself and not the UI? and wouldn't running the tablet UI on the phone itself be kinda hard to use
If you lower your dpi in the build.prop you can force ics to go into "tablet" mode but it distorts ui elements and causes instability. With webtop at the right resolution on the phone screen i think could be usable and would eliminate the problems mentioned above with changing the dpi.
Plus i just think it would be cool to use the tablet netflix and other apps on my phone

you actually have the best idea I've seen in months! I wish I had the time to write an app to do this!
Yeah i thought it was a pretty good idea, i just don't know if its possible.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
You could try installing safestrap, back up everything, then flash the Web top to the safe system then booting into it. I'm not totally sure about it, but I believe safestrap uses the Web top partition to load a custom ram disk on top of our existing kernel as a way to boot custom roms with a locked boot loader. Though, I would believe that the Web top would need some small tweaking to run correctly, for input, not sure the touch screen drivers would be included... Etc. But if it could be done i wonder with some additional tweaks if we could build a fully functional ubuntu rom...

Here's something I found for the Atrix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193
My think is that it should be able to run as an application almost. I unhooked my phone from my hdmi cord one and my phone kept kept the webtop ui on my screen for about 10 seconds and i was able to control it.. though it was laggy

Isn't this essentially our nebtop?

He is basiclly talking a rom or a launcher with the looks of tablet mode, but on the cellphone screen without connecting anything, something like paranoid android rom we have on samsung galaxy note, i personally tried it on a note and its pretty good, would be cool for Razr.
In a way yes, but what i am talking about is we actually use the webtop software thats already installed on our device. If there was a way to open it like an application that would switch us over to tablet mode "webtop" and when you want to go back to phone mode you just use the same app to switch back.
I think that makes sense haha

All we need is a toggle button to flip one bit. The question though is which bit. Perhaps this thread would garner more serious response if posted in the dev section?
I was going to post the idea in the dev section, but people have a tendency to ***** at you if its not an actual product that your posting.

I totally understand that, and you probably WILL get *****ed at, but maybe one dev will think "great idea & i think i know how to do that." Go ahead and clearly post there exactly what you are talking about. Who knows, we could have that toggle by tomorrow &i bet it would get a LOT of press as it would be a whole new interface for Android phones!
This thread is a little old, but I recently acquired a Razr with a bad ESN and cracked but still working screen to use as a HDMI attached media device. Webtop was giving me a few issues, refusing to switch to tablet mode sometimes, so I decided to see if the dpi could be changed to force it into an always tablet mode.
Using a backup of the stock 4.1.2 ROM in Safestrap slot 1, I changed the DPI to 120 and it seems to be working well, apps still show as compatible in Google Play. I'm using Holo Launcher HD and had to switch some settings to get icons looking right.
Here is what 120DPI looks like if anyone is interested.
